Taking a developers perspective, do you think that that
JavaScript is easy to learn and use?

One of the reasons JavaScript has the word "script" in it is that as a

programming language, the vocabulary of the core language is
compact compared to full-fledged programming languages. If you
already program in Java or C, you actually have to unlearn some
concepts that had been beaten into you. For example, JavaScript is
a loosely typed language, which means that a variable doesn't care
if it's holding a string, a number, or a reference to an object; the
same variable can even change what type of data it holds while a
script runs.
The other part of JavaScript implementation in browsers that
makes it easier to learn is that most of the objects you script are
pre-defined for the author, and they largely represent physical
things you can see on a page: a text box, an image, and so on. It's
easier to say, "OK, these are the things I'm working with and I'll
use scripting to make them do such and such," instead of having
to dream up the user interface, conceive of and code objects, and
handle the interaction between objects and users. With scripting,
you tend to write a _lot_ less code.
What Web sites do you feel use JavaScript most effectively
(i.e., best-in-class examples)? The worst?

The best sites are the ones that use JavaScript so transparently,
that I'm not aware that there is any scripting on the page. The
worst sites are those that try to impress me with how much
scripting is on the page.

How about 2+5+"8"?

Since 2 and 5 are integers, this is number arithmetic, since 8 is a

string, its concatenation, so 78 is the result.
What is the difference between SessionState and ViewState?

ViewState is specific to a page in a session. Session state refers to

user specific data that can be accessed across all pages in the web
application.
What does the EnableViewStateMac setting in an aspx page
do?

Setting EnableViewStateMac=true is a security measure that

allows ASP.NET to ensure that the viewstate for a page has not
been tampered with. If on Postback, the ASP.NET framework
detects that there has been a change in the value of viewstate that
was sent to the browser, it raises an error - Validation of viewstate
MAC failed.
Use <% @ Page EnableViewStateMac="true"% > to set it to true (the
default value, if this attribute is not specified is also true) in an
aspx page.
